Jung Haein has recently been drawing attention for his loyal behavior.
On the 14th, Jung Haein liked a social media post by the CEO of a Philippine clothing brand. The post announced Kim Soo-hyun's comeback, and Jung Haein expressed his support by liking it.
Jung Haein's actions are not entirely surprising. In April last year, Jung Haein appeared on MBC variety show "Good Day" and built a friendship with Kim Soo-hyun as fellow 1988-born peers.
However, Kim Soo-hyun was completely edited out of that variety show after allegations surfaced that he had been involved with the late actress Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor, and some Jung Haein fans urged distancing measures such as unfollowing Kim Soo-hyun on social media.
But Jung Haein kept following Kim Soo-hyun on social media and watched the case unfold. Kim Soo-hyun has continued a legal dispute with the bereaved family who raised the allegations, and in May his agency said, "The deceased's KakaoTalk conversations were found to be altered from conversations involving others and falsely attributed to Kim Soo-hyun, and the deceased's voice was also confirmed to be manipulated material generated using AI technology."
Later, on a recent live broadcast, Eun Hyeon-jang of "Master of Business" mentioned Jung Haein and said, "There are celebrities who stabbed me in the back. I won't mention names, but there is a celebrity who betrayed me when I was being called a swindler. I won't mention it. I'll let them live. So don't contact them."
He added, "Except for Jung Haein, I'll beat them all up. Don't contact them. Jung Haein uniquely didn't even unfollow. We've met a few times and he's a friend who supported me a lot. Didn't Jung Haein also not unfollow Kim Soo-hyun? He didn't unfollow and watched until the end."
With Eun Hyeon-jang's sharply worded remarks on "Master of Business" and news of Jung Haein's like, his unwavering actions have been drawing attention day after day.<
